I see how the action='accept' vs. action='return' makes a difference
here, if the user has other rules after calling this filter that they
still want to use.

but I'm a bit lost as to why srcportend='68' needs to be changed to
dstportstart='67'.  Assuming you can explain this change, then

ACK.

Meanwhile, this file under examples/ differs from the text in
formatnwfilter.html.in which also defines a filter named no-ip-spoofing;
is that a discrepancy where the docs should be updated to accurately
describe what is our best state-of-the-art in the examples, or is it
something where we should just mention in the docs that the docs are
shorter versions for discussion, and to see examples/ for a more
complete version.  But fixing that can be a separate patch.
